Damn, I want that book so bad.

--- Quote from: smilesvssmirks on 25 Feb 2009, 20:31 ---Lastly, I wish people would stop referencing the convo from 1307 because it was a ridiculous exchange to begin with. Sven says things aren't monogamous and then Faye says, ok but no sleeping with anybody else. She basically just gave him the definition of monogamy! The whole thing was essentially Sven saying "Alright. I won't fuck any one else. Until, you know. I do."

Remember, though... Sven just referenced it, too. So, even if it's ridiculous, it's in play...

--- Quote from: Mallli_kite on 25 Feb 2009, 18:21 ---I've seen slime.  Sven hasn't made it there yet.  He COULD, yeah, and he might, but he still has potential.  I'm holding out hope until Sven steps off the cliff into the realm of the irredeemable.

I agree he's not slime. Yet. But I get the feeling Sven has no idea how close his self-justification is bringing a state of oozing viscousness. I think most us of can agree Sven's reached a crossroads: grow, or grow slimy.

--- End quote ---

Oh, agreed, agreed in a large way.  He's on that cliff edge.  I'm just holding out a hope that he will back away slowly, turn around, and decide to be a little more decent.  He doesn't have to go whole hog, as perfect people are incredibly annoying, but a little sincere introspection is in order.

As for the sibling thing -- no one can get on your case like a sib, especially if you are close (if you aren't then it's either they are bored or they are sadistic).  I think Dora's reaction is, at least a little, that she feels 1) his behavior reflects on her, so if he's an ass, she's caught in the ass aura 2) She has a pretty high moral standard for herself (I mean, come on, beating yourself up because you date a guy another girl REFUSED to date?  Them's some high standards) and it might be a bit tough to have near-slime as a brother. 3) She senses Sven is coasting now, but has a major meltdown in his future, and because she loves him, she will kick his ass until he wakes up before he's swirling down the toilet.

And, of course, in dramatic narrative terms, watching a near-slime move up the chain is more interesting, because there's always room for slippage and so forth.

Does Faye seem thinner in these last few strips?

First time I've heard of that website - so Jeph you can direct the comments to:

I hope that they have enough toothpaste in the apartment though, that much saccharine will give you tooth decay faster than "Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs"
